About Strangers
Kaveh, a young man from America, walks the roads of southern Iran searching for Dehdari, his recently deceased and estranged father's childhood home. He happens upon Abdul Reza, a thirty-year-old truck driver plagued by financial hardships and family responsibilities, who is fixing his truck by the side of the road. Kaveh hires Abdul as his guide, and together these two strangers embark on a three-day journey that leads them from a tiny village to an ancient graveyard and in search of a murderer. A journey of conflicts and juxtapositions that forces Kaveh deeper into the past, towards peace and forgiveness.
Directed by Ramin Bahrani, Strangers leans on a strong ensemble — Ramin Bahrani, Karim Kashani, Amrollah Solati Dalaki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2000.
